Specific embodiments

[0027] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, an automatic drainage device for cable threading pipes in explosion-proof areas includes a connecting pipe 4. An end cover 5 is provided at the end of the connecting pipe 4. A mesh plate 7 is provided at the opening position of the end of the end cover 5. Glass wool 6 is provided between the mesh plate 7 of the end cover 5 and the end of the connecting pipe 4. The upper end of the connecting pipe 4 is connected to the drain pipe opening 3. When rainwater or other liquids seep into the interior of the wiring box 2 and pass through the drain pipe opening 3, these liquids first pass through the mesh plate 7 in the end cover 5, and the mesh plate can effectively prevent external explosive gases or dust from entering the interior of the drain pipe opening 3.

[0028] The liquid then passes through the glass wool 6 filled between the end cover 5 and the connecting pipe 4, and the filtered liquid finally drains out from the connecting pipe 4, ensuring that the accumulated water inside the wiring box 2 can be drained in time while maintaining the safety performance of the explosion-proof area. Through a special structural design, the problem of accumulated water caused by rainwater seeping into the wiring box 2 is effectively solved. By using the dual filtering mechanism of the mesh plate 7 and the glass wool 6, it is ensured that external harmful substances cannot enter the interior of the drain pipe opening. This device can effectively drain the accumulated water, reduce the risk of electrical equipment short circuit, and improve the safety and reliability of the system. The structure is simple, facilitating regular cleaning and maintenance.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the upper end of the connecting pipe 4 is threadedly connected or clamped to the drain pipe opening 3. In this application, a threaded connection is preferably used, and the external thread at the upper end of the connecting pipe 4 is threadedly connected to the internal thread of the drain pipe opening 3.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the end cover 5 is clamped or threadedly connected to the lower end of the connecting pipe 4. The external thread at the lower end of the end cover 5 is threadedly connected to the internal thread of the end cover 5, facilitating installation and disassembly.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, a rotating table 401 is provided at the middle position of the connecting pipe 4, and the top view of the rotating table 401 is in a hexagonal structure. The rotating table 401 is in the structure of a hexagonal nut, and the nut structure facilitates the rotation of the connecting pipe 4.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, a cleaning hole 402 is also provided at a position above the rotating table 401 of the connecting pipe 4. The cleaning hole 402 is inclined, and the hole opening faces the lower end opening position of the connecting pipe 4. A valve 8 is provided on the cleaning hole 402. The high-pressure air gun is connected to the valve 8. After the valve 8 is opened, high-pressure gas is blown into the connecting pipe 4 to blow the water out of the inside of the connecting pipe 4.

[0033] The cleaning hole 402 is provided at a position above the rotating table 401 of the connecting pipe 4, is inclined, and the hole opening faces the lower end opening position of the connecting pipe 4, and is used for cleaning impurities inside the connecting pipe. The valve 8 is installed on the cleaning hole 402 and is used for connecting the high-pressure air gun.

[0034] When it is necessary to clean the inside of the connecting pipe 4, the high-pressure air gun can be connected to the valve 8. After the valve 8 is opened, high-pressure gas is blown into the connecting pipe 4 to blow the water out of the inside of the connecting pipe 4 and remove the possibly accumulated impurities.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, an external thread is provided at the lower end of the valve body 801 of the valve 8, and the external thread is threadedly connected to the cleaning hole 402. The external thread at the lower end of the valve body 801 is threadedly connected to the internal thread of the cleaning hole 402, which is convenient for installation and disassembly.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, a valve rod 802 is further provided inside the valve body 801. The lower end of the valve rod 802 passes through the valve seat 805 and is connected to the valve cover 806. The valve cover 806 abuts against the opening position of the valve seat 805;

[0037] The upper end of the valve rod 802 passes through the support platform 803 near the upper end opening position of the valve body 801. A limiting platform is also provided on the valve rod 802. The limiting platform is arranged below the support platform 803. A spring 804 is provided between the limiting platform and the valve seat 805. The spring 804 is sleeved on the valve rod 802. The valve rod 802 is slidably connected to the support platform 803. Multiple holes are provided on the support platform 803, and the limiting platform covers the multiple holes; when the valve rod 802 is pressed downward, the holes on the support platform 803 and the valve seat 805 are opened, and high-pressure gas is injected to blow the water inside the drain pipe opening 3 out.

[0038] Under normal conditions, the valve cover 806 abuts against the opening position of the valve seat 805 to form a seal. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the connecting pipe 4, the valve rod 802 can be pressed downward by an external force to separate the valve cover 806 from the valve seat 805. At this time, the holes on the support platform 803 and the valve seat 805 are opened, allowing high-pressure gas to enter. The high-pressure gas is injected into the connecting pipe 4 through the cleaning hole 402 to blow out the accumulated water, completing the drainage process. When the external force is removed, the elastic force of the spring 804 causes the valve cover 806 to return to the initial position and form a seal with the valve seat 805 again. Through the special structural design, the problem of water accumulation caused by rainwater seeping into the wire threading box is effectively solved.
